"build on its existing SEC-registered funding portal and FINRA member broker-dealer"
A SEC-registered funding portal is an online platform officially approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to host crowdfunding offers of securities. Think of it as a regulated online marketplace that connects small companies raising capital with everyday investors; because the portal is overseen by regulators and must follow specific rules, it adds basic safety checks and transparency that help investors compare opportunities and reduce some fraud risk, though it does not eliminate investment risk.

"existing SEC-registered funding portal and FINRA member broker-dealer capabilities"
A FINRA member broker-dealer is a firm that buys and sells securities for clients or its own account and is licensed to operate under the oversight of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Think of it like a licensed contractor working under city rules: the membership means the firm must follow industry standards, keep records, and submit to inspections and a customer arbitration process, which matters to investors because it adds layers of oversight and channels for resolving disputes.

Boston, MA, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) (“Netcapital” or the “Company”), a publicly traded fintech company that gives companies access to capital markets infrastructure without institutional scale fees, today announced its strategic focus on enhancing the Netcapital platform into a more full-service capital formation solution for emerging growth companies.

Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Todd Violette, Netcapital plans to build on its existing SEC-registered funding portal and FINRA member broker-dealer capabilities by expanding the services and tools that support issuers throughout the capital raising process. The goal is to provide issuers with a more integrated experience that combines regulatory-compliant technology, marketing support, investor analytics, and advisory services into a single, turnkey engagement.

“Netcapital has already built a differentiated platform at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and private capital formation,” said Todd Violette, Chief Executive Officer of Netcapital. “Our focus now is to deepen that platform so that growth-stage companies can work with a single partner that understands capital markets, provides the necessary infrastructure, and supports them through the full capital raising process.”

Rather than operating solely as a listing marketplace, Netcapital plans to emphasize a model in which issuers maintain ownership of their brand and investor relationships while leveraging Netcapital’s SEC-registered funding portal, FINRA member broker-dealer, and technology stack to power their offerings. The Company expects to enhance its support for issuers through managed marketing campaigns, offering page content and creative support, investor webinars, and improved investor data and analytics tools.

“Entrepreneurs want more than a platform to host an offering,” Violette added. “They want a partner that can help them tell their story, reach the right investors, and understand what is working in real time. By combining our regulated capital formation infrastructure with a broader set of services, we believe we can help issuers raise capital more effectively while building stronger, long-term investor relationships.”

Netcapital believes this strategic focus can support long-term shareholder value by broadening its issuer pipeline, increasing platform engagement, and creating additional revenue opportunities associated with higher-value service offerings. The Company expects to provide further updates on specific product and service enhancements as they are developed and launched.
